I have been there done that also, for a company of 100 or so employees. We hosted parts of a major vendors website (it's amazing how often that happens BTW) and had to have very reliable and redundant communications and server systems.

I did some work a few years back for a company with multiple T1's, multiple providers and they were only a 1 site, 100 user company. Their business model dictated that they needed multiple paths... On a 15 site dual MPLS WAN, I run BGP as well. It just depends on the needs. On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Michael B.

If you've never worked for an ISP, or acquired a CCNP (or higher), or worked for a telecommunications company - it's unlikely that you would've run into BGP or ASNs. We all have our areas of expertise. Don't ask me to set up KMS, for example (to reference another ongoing thread on this mailing list). I know zero about it. Regards, Michael B.
